The Development Of Optimization Methods For Knowledge Base Enrichment Processes

The paper presents the concept of approach to the research and evaluation of the processes of intellectual activity associated with the enrichment of the knowledge base. A feature of the research of the process dynamics is the need of simultaneous consideration of such diverse factors as the complexity of information perception, the presence of the deviations of the response from the standard in the process of reproduction and accounting of the test time.A significant influence on the methods of optimization of the knowledge base enrichment process is exerted by a considerable duration of the task learning process. This causes the use of the multifactor experimental design theory to accelerate the progress towards the optimum.The research results can be used in the development of technologies for efficient knowledge assimilation, automation of skills, and also in the development of expert systems for diagnostics of the processes of intellectual activity

Development of experimental methods for quantifying the human response to chromatic glazing

Thermochromic (TC) windows have the ability to regulate daylight and control the solar heat gains that shape a building's internal environment. They therefore offer the potential to improve indoor comfort and reduce building energy demand when used in place of traditional clear glazing systems. However, the quality of the luminous environment is affected due to their chromatic appearance (e.g. common TC coatings impart a bronze or blue hue), resulting in changes to correlated colour temperatures (CCT). Previous studies show that experiments performed under daylight conditions are difficult to be control, while those conducted under artificial lighting conditions cannot faithfully reproduce window properties. In order to investigate the influence of TC windows on visual performance and comfort of subjects in an efficient and economical way, an innovative test room cubicle was designed. It is a mock-up office lit by an artificial window, simulating luminous conditions filtered through two types of TC window (one blue tinted and one bronze tinted). Clear glazing was used as a reference. Objective visual tasks involving Landolt charts and subjective assessments made using questionnaires were used to determine subjects' response to the three different luminous conditions. Results show that the experimental method is effective at determining human response to chromatic glazing. Additionally, the method is flexible due to its small scale and its ability to artificially represent different window types

Pediatric Cancers: Development and Treatment Methods

Pediatric cancers are cancers that develop in kids and adolescents ages 0-19. Pediatric cancers usually develop in three ways: through inherited gene mutations, parental exposure to toxins, and acquired gene mutations. While cancer can affect children and adults alike, treatment becomes more difficult for children due to their physical predevelopment stages. Therefore, it is important to discuss all methods of treatment when dealing with a particular pediatric cancer in order to choose the most effective method

SOFT Development of feature tracking methods

The present report describes the work carried out within task 3.1 of Work Package 3 of the SOFT Project. The above task is ‘Development of feature tracking methods’ and consists of the development of a software to track large-scale, westward propagating features (planetary waves or westward-travelling eddies) in the altimetric datasets, and in the removal of the identified features from the datasets. The residual field (that is the original dataset minus the tracked features) is then made available to the other work packages in the Project

Methods on Moral Development of Teenagers by Luqman Al-Hakim: Application in Religious School Programs

This paper discusses the methods of adolescent\u27s moral development based on Luqman al-Hakim orders to his son in Surah Luqman verse 12-19. This paper also reveals who is Luqman al-Hakim, and the extent of moral development methods as set forth in verses 12-19 from Surah Luqman applied in religious programme of Islamic boarding schools in the state of Kedah. The study was conducted using a questionnaire that was distributed to 491 students from eleven Islamic boarding schools in Kedah. The results showed that the method of character development by Luqman al-Hakim was adopted and practiced by teachers in the schools\u27 religious programme with an overall mean score of 4.40 which is at a high level

What are Hybrid Development Methods Made Of?

Regardless of company size or industry sector, a majority of project teams and companies use customized processes that combine different development methods-so-called hybrid development methods. Even though such hybrid development methods are highly individualized, a common understanding of how to systematically construct synergetic practices is missing. Based on 1,467 data points from a large-scale online survey among practitioners, we study the current state of practice in process use to answer the question: What are hybrid development methods made of? Our findings reveal that only eight methods and few practices build the core of modern software development. This small set allows for statistically constructing hybrid development methods

Migrating agile methods to standardized development practice

Situated process and quality frame-works offer a way to resolve the tensions that arise when introducing agile methods into standardized software development engineering. For these to be successful, however, organizations must grasp the opportunity to reintegrate software development management, theory, and practice
